    We are the collateral victims, us and Square Enix together, of a conflict between huge companies.

    On the left America on the right Europe, between the Atlantic Ocean.
    Cogent (multinational), based in America, owns the most of the transatlantic fiber network.
    On the right there are multiple Internet Service Providers (ISP) that we pay each month.

    The problem is much more data comes from America to Europe than the inverse, also our ISP asked Cogent to pay for the excess bandwidth but Cogent refused.
    Justice gave reason to our ISP but Cogent still refuse to pay, acting like an outlaw but Cogent doesn't care, Cogent owns the pipes.

    So our ISP decided to limit the traffic from America by modifying the routing and clamping the pipes to do not pay the bandwidth Cogent should pay.

    So we could say we are hostages in this affair but if our ISP pay instead of Cogent, our month fee will grow, so our ISP are defending us, but it costs us to have a lot of lag when exchanging data with the north american continent.

    Now that Square Enix knows this, certainly much before reading this of course, Square Enix should bring the EU servers in Europe, why?
    Because a solution to this conflict is not going to happen anytime soon.

    Edit: specified Cogent is a multinational enterprise
